Subject: Strike the Bayer Protection Act from the Farm Bill - Vote Happening on Thursday
Reply-To: Organic Consumers Association <camp...@organicconsumers.org>
Dear Janet,
On Thursday, April 30, 2026, every member of the U.S. House of Representatives will vote on whether to stand with pesticide victims or with Bayer-Monsanto, the company that poisoned them.
If Democrats vote to protect pesticide victims and Republicans support Bayer-Monsanto, as each party is expected to do, we lose, but the Republican majority is slim (218 to 215) and several are breaking ranks: Reps. Eli Crane of Arizona, Lauren Boebert of Colorado, Anna Paulina Luna of Florida, Nancy Mace of South Carolina, Thomas Massie of Kentucky, Brian Fitzpatrick and Ryan Mackenzie of Pennsylvania, Chip Roy of Texas, and Mike Kennedy of Utah.
Call the House Switchboard to be connected with your Representative’s office: (202) 224-3121
Ask them to support Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC)’s Amendment #301 that would strip all harmful pesticide provisions from the Farm Bill.
If you prefer to email, use the alert below. We’ll update the alert with news of the vote as soon as it happens.
On Monday, Bayer argued before the Supreme Court in Monsanto v. Durnell that federal law prevents pesticide-exposed cancer victims from suing it in state courts.
At the same time, it has been lobbying Congress to change federal law to stop pesticide-exposed cancer victims from suing them in state courts.
This is a bold admission that its assertion that state failure-to-warn claims are preempted by federal laws governing pesticide labels is bunk—a point Durnell’s lawyer made to the Justices during oral arguments.
Hundreds of people showed up at the Supreme Court to stand with pesticide victims against Bayer.
We need thousands of people to call the U.S. House of Representatives today - (202) 224-3121.
On Thursday, April 30, 2026, your Member of Congress will vote on the Farm Bill. Please call their office to demand that they vote to strip the bill of provisions Bayer has spent millions lobbying for that would protect the company from lawsuits that have cost the company billions.
TAKE ACTION: Tell Congress to Strike the Pesticide Deregulation Sections From the 2026 House Farm Bill!Wishing you health,
